open Happenings in the Everfree RP

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

 

"Oh..!"

 

Whatever it was on the wall that Cinder had been focusing on so intently lost its appeal.

 

"Oh, well, uh, that's... good, I guess."

 

What was he doing? What was she doing? She should really just shut up now, before she made a fool of herself like usual - before she drove away a friend...

 

"I mean, not 'good' but, uh... You know."

 

She shrugged. She hoped he 'knew', because she certainly didn't.

 

"Guess I just got a little flighty after all. I... I felt... I'm sorry Silver but when I saw her I just wanted to... to... I think I was jealous, okay?"

 

The floor was suddenly looking very interesting as well, what an intricate pattern the cracks made in the stone...

 

"It's ok, ignore me, I'm just being... Maybe I'm still not well. I'm fine - you can go if you want."

"Guess I just got a little flighty after all. I... I felt... I'm sorry Silver but when I saw her I just wanted to... to... I think I was jealous, okay?" The floor was suddenly looking very interesting as well, what an intricate pattern the cracks made in the stone... "It's ok, ignore me, I'm just being... Maybe I'm still not well. I'm fine - you can go if you want."

 

"Jealous?"  Silver repeated, somewhat in shock. Did she mean jealous as in... JEALOUS jealous, or just jealous the way he had been when he'd seen Minty kiss Redwave on the cheek? Thinking back to the incident, Silver realize that what HE felt jealous of at that moment... was that the mare of his dreams had never kissed HIM that way. Maybe Cinder was wishing the stallion of her dreams had kissed her...

 

Silver had to admit he was not a very bold colt when it came to these things. Gah why can't I can't I be more like Redwave... and just kiss her and find out.. She'll either slap me, or kiss me back.... and either way I'll know.

 

But he just couldn't do it. He considered asking the Red Maned rival for advice. But right now... he didn't want to leave Cinder. Even if it was just for this mission, he decided he wanted to make the most of every minute of it.

 

"You've no need to be Jealous..." he told Cinder. "I'm sure your special somepony is thinking of you... and wishes he could be here with you, at your side.... always. And that he would never let you down... and that... he'd stand by you through thick and thin... forever." The words hurt to say. Mainly because... he wished they were about him.... and that she really was JEALOUS jealous.. and not just jealous.

 

He pulled her into a tight hug... mainly so he could hide his expression in her mane.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

'Oh, hugging!' Her mind said on autopilot - thankfully not automatically speaking it aloud.

"My... who?" She mumbled before shaking her head slightly. It didn't matter, she didn't understand what was happening anyway. Everything was happening at once and the harder she tried to think then the faster and less legible her thoughts became.

She shuddered a little. It wasn't because of the potions.

'What is wrong with me..?' She thought.

Silver pulled out of the hug, gazing at the ground... gee those cracks are interesting down there!.... Nice patterns... reminds me of.... my heart?

 

"You know... Scribe... Your special somepony that you're always talking about?" Silver didn't realize how much his voice was quavering... So hard to talk with a huge lump in you throat!

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

 

Cinder really didn't know how to respond to that. She pushed him back so that she could see him, not sure whether or not to laugh.

 

"Scribe...? You thought..." 

 

She allowed herself to laugh a little.

 

"Scribes My friend. A very dear friend who has a desperate crush on..." she rolled her eyes, smirking. "...Miss Twilight Sparkle."

 

Cinder really couldn't imagine how anypony could have come to the conclusion that she and Scribe... She laughed to herself again.

"You mean he's not...  He isn't your..... Well that's great!"

 

What are you saying Silver.......

 

"I mean it's great that you have such a great friend." Silver shifted uncomfortably. Ok that was cleared up... Now what? He couldn't confess his feelings to her... She's laugh at him! He was too.... scared.

 

"Well then, If you're not sad any more maybe we can tell Lyona we're ready to continue on the mission?"

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

 

Cinder simply blinked a few times, not quite registering what he had said,

 

"Uh... Sure. Ready whenever you are of course. Work to do, got to be hero's and all that."

 

She looked around the room, her thoughts starting to flow normally again.

 

'Why did he think... Why would it matter if... No, of course not. Thats a stupid idea Cinder - it's not scientifically sound - theres no evidence... no logic...'

[Mikestar 346]

Silver heaved a deep sigh. At least that conversation was over with! and it hadn't gone that badly.

 

How did Redwave pursue the mare he wanted so easily? Silver thought a moment about going and asking the white stallion for advice... but he decided against it.

 

"He doesn't even like me, he said so himself." Silver thought to himself "Why would he help me? If only I could write... I'd send a letter in to Dear Appy. She'd know what to do.

 

Silver glanced about the cave, hoping to avoid Fireblaze... where ever she'd gone. Hopefully the little joke had passed... or was it a joke! 

 

(( OOC here is the colored version, still a bit rough but too tired to finish tweaking it. I'm off to hit the hay. Will catch up in the morning. Night.))

MEANWHILE...

 

 

 

 

Minty was still lying down on he tree surprised at what had just happened before her. "Is this real life? Did that actually happen..?" Minty asked herself and wobbled over to her sleeping bag. Well, she forgot how to use her hooves. She kept tripping over, but was completely oblivious to the pain. She was still thinking of that wonderful moment. "Did he really mean that...?" Minty asked herself, hugging a tree to maintain balance.

[Dark Horn 430]

((I've been watching all of this, but Impetus is busy. I think that should be enough time for him to complete his task.))

 

Impetus shakes his head. His tongue was getting twisted. Ah, well. It'll be worth it in the future - I know it. He waves to the half a dozen forms lurking in the dark recesses of the cave with an acknowledging smile. Then he looks around again. "What the hay just happened here? Gee, Fire looks sad. She was kind of growing on me... ah well. Maybe I should talk to her... who's Fire, you say? Oh, that glum looking pony is Fireblaze, got that? That one over there who keeps falling on her face? That's Minty. That's Cinderblock; the one who keeps breaking into song is Silver Note, that's Purplewave or whatever, and that's Lyona. Who am I? Aha, they call me Impetus. That's my name, and now yours. Shh, stay in the shadows now, don't let anyone see you. Sometimes silly ponies like, say, Orangewave, get things like common sense stuck up in their heads and want to get rid of you. You don't want that, now do you?"

 

The six forms sink back into the shadows...

@,

"Minty!" Redwave called out to her as he departed from his discussion with Silver. Noticing her unease on her hooves he hurried over to her.

"Are you quite alright? Can I assist in any way?" He asked out of concern. "My apologies for departing, I had need to speak with your friend."

--------------------

Minty nodded. "I-it's okay.. I'm just stunned from what happened." Minty blushed at the thought, and pretended she wasn't just hugging a tree. She let out a laugh, and smiled. "Sorry if I concerned you," Minty said. "It's not everyday that I get kissed by the stallion of my--" Minty clamped a hoof over her muzzle, and looked away.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@,

"Ah, yes. That. Ahem, I hope that I did not come across as... too forward with my actions? The very last thing I would want to do would be to offend or insult you..."

 

He looked away and scraped at the ground sheepishly with a hoof - she seemed so embarrassed.

 

"Subtlety may not be one of my finest skills, though I certainly do not regret what I did."

 

'What did she call me? Stallion of her... what?'

--------------------

Minty looked up. "You didn't regret it?" Minty cocked her head confused. "W-weren't you dared to kiss me by somepony else in the Royal Guard?" She reached out her hoof and scratched her neck. "Nopony would just kiss me because they wanted to.. u-usually they'd make fun of me s-since.." Minty said, having a horrible flashback about school.

[Scootalove 10,692]

'' I don't why I try to put myself in these relationships, I always told myself to stay away from them or I'll be getting myself into a sticky situation that I won't be able to get myself into.''

 

Fireblaze looks gloomy with a very sad expression on her face, walking to a corner and laying there alone.

 

'' Now, I want to be alone for a while.''

 

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@,

"Dared?" Redwave repeated, not quite certain whether he believed what he was hearing.

 

"Of course not! Wherever would an idea like that come from?" He said disbelievingly. "Firstly, anypony daring me to do so would only be granting a favor to myself. Secondly, I have no dealings with the Royal Guard beyond this mission. I dare say I know not a single pony who knows you, save for those here."

Minty stood up. "So... you l-like me?" Minty asked, daring to believe that he did. Minty looked down. "Just forget it.." Minty said sadly. "I don't think you do anyway." Minty sighed, turning around to go away. She didn't even wait for a response; she was already trotting away. Well, more like slumped.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@,

"Yes! I..." The red maned adventurer called out after the mare without thinking.

 

"What are you doing you foal?" His mind screamed. "You have a job to do!"

 

He hung his head, defeated. Without looking to see if she had heard, he slunk away to find the rest of the group. 

 

Maybe they needed him to hit something.

"Okay, everypony! Time to pack up and leave." Lyona clapped her hooves with a bright smile.

 

@@Scootalove,

 

" Fireblaze, I'm sure you'll find a special somepony! Just not... From this group." Lyona fluttered over to the sad unicorn, a small smile on her face. She didn't wait for a reply and flew off, wanting to make sure everypony was ready to go.

 

-I won't find anypony from here either. I can't spend my time with only one... How will the rest cope by themselves?-

'' You're right Lyona, I should just move on and keep my mind in check so we can finish this mission. So, I'll take your word for it.''

 

Fireblaze gets out of her sad mood, a smile starts to emerge on her face. She leaves her sad corner, and walks with the group. Putting her head up, starting to feel better.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@@LittleRawr,

"Ready and waiting, Madame." Red declared quickly, already fully geared and ready to move onwards. "Simply point me in the right direction and we shall march into the unknown."

 

He brandished his sword towards the forest, full of bluster and bravado again, though a fraction of the arrogance had faded from his voice. 

 

"Let us end whatever enchantment turned such stalwart companions against each other!"

'' You're right Lyona, I should just move on and keep my mind in check so we can finish this mission. So, I'll take your word for it.''

 

" That's the spirit." Lyona murmured to herself, smiling. -She really knows how to pick herself up.-

@,

 

She smiled faintly, amused at his act." Okay. I just need to check my compass for a second, and we're off. "

 

The pegasus flew out of the cave they were in, and glanced at her compass. It pointed to the left.

 

" Once you get out, go to the left!" Lyona called behind her shoulder, her voice ecoing in the cave.

[Scootalove 10,692]

Hearing the echo from inside of the cave, recognizing that it is Lyona's voice. She starts to walk in the cave, walking out of the cave and going over to the left.

 

'' Well that was easy, now let's get this show on the road!'' Standing next to Lyona, after Fireblaze left the cave.

--------------------

There was a problem though. She DID hear Redwave.. but she thought that his job mattered to him more than her. Which was completely understandable; she knew that Celestia herself sent him anyway. He wasnt here to get with anypony.. Minty shouldn't want to, either. But something inside her told her that she should carry it on. She returned to her quiet self, as the first day she met the Royal Guard. She didn't want to speak to anypony. Anymore. Ever.

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

@@LittleRawr,

"Onwards then. Let us be done with this and leave. I shall take point, I can clear a path for those of us without wings." Red stated before trotting ahead in the direction she had indicated, drawing his cutlass.

 

'And get my mind back in focus: getting sidetracked like that only ever gets ponies hurt.'

--------------------



"I'm here, I'm here." Cinder said, emerging from the cave. 'Still kind of wish I wasn't but...'

 

She looped a couple of loose vials back into her belts and checked the straps on her goggles - everything seemed fine so she nodded.

 

"Ready when you are."
